Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404)
Description
This System Programming procedure specifies telephone numbers that users
cannot dial. For example, you may want to prevent calls to a specific telephone
number or to categories of numbers, such as international numbers. Use this
procedure to create up to eight lists of up to 10 telephone numbers each.
Related Features
After completing this procedure, you must use Disallowed List
Assignments (#405) to assign the Disallowed Phone Number Lists to
specific extensions.
Allowed Phone Numbers, Emergency Phone Numbers, and Marked
System Speed Dial Numbers override the Disallowed List.
The entries you must make to permit or restrict toll calls differ depending on
the setting for Toll Call Prefix (#402). This setting tells the system whether
a “0” (for operator-assisted calls) or “1” (for direct-dial calls) is required
when you make toll calls.
If Star Code Dial Delay (#410) is active, the system checks for allowed and
disallowed phone numbers
again
beginning with the first digit after the star
code.
Considerations
Each list entry can include up to 12 digits. You can use the wildcard
character (by pressing the
h button on a system phone) to match any
single digit (it appears as “!” on the telephone display).
When a user dials a number that is on a Disallowed List for the user’s
extension, the user hears a reorder tone (fast busy signal) after dialing the
part of the number that is stored in the list (for example, an area code).
If you want to go to another programming procedure when entering phone
numbers in a list, you must use
N or P to do so since
entering
# and a three-digit code will be considered data for the telephone
number.
Valid Entries
Up to 12 digits including 0–9, #, *, and h (any single digit)
